Dec 11, 2003	Is solid state on the brink of extinction? While I'm assembling my comparisons of available class D amps, a few corrections of the myths already evolving regarding these things are in order, courtesy of my father, a well repected audio engineer for the various recording studios and soundst...
Dec 08, 2003	Is solid state on the brink of extinction? Muralman, your boundless enthusiasm for your amps has me wanting ot explore Class D further. What I've heard in stores has not impressed me so I'm trying to set up some home auditions. I can get my hands on a Spectron Musician II but where do I fi...
Dec 07, 2003	Is solid state on the brink of extinction? Muralman, I don't know how you came to interpret my last statement to mean that here is always an advantage to latter production speakers. BTW I certainly do not think there is always an advantage latter production amplifiers either. I've heard re...
Dec 06, 2003	Monitor enthusiasts: musical subwoofers? you should get 3 identical subs for the front array, but for best effect don't plug any of them in!
Dec 06, 2003	Is solid state on the brink of extinction? Ecclectique (fabulous moniker BTW) of course owners of low impedance speakers will find digital amplification synergistic, much as those with high impedance speakers embrace single ended triodes. To each their own, except for those of us who champ...
Dec 06, 2003	Is solid state on the brink of extinction? Unsound, if electricity has replaced the megaphone, i.e., non-electronically amplified sound, then why do we still have concert halls? Must be that "day-to-day" basis thing I guess. You prove Seandtaylor99's point exactly: new technology generally...
Dec 05, 2003	Is solid state on the brink of extinction? Unsound, electricity has not replaced winding megaphonographs at all. It simply has taken over the winding. For a romantic evening would you prefer GEs incandescents with a space heater or some candles and a crackling fire?
Dec 04, 2003	Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano? Careful Muralman. Depends on her Habit, don't you think?
Dec 04, 2003	Is solid state on the brink of extinction? Muralman, chastized as such by the choir, I accept the sincerity of your posts and offer my apologies for any doubt expressed indeftly. Rgcards says it best, indeed. BTW, have you sold your Pass Labs? I might be interested.
Dec 03, 2003	Is solid state on the brink of extinction? Muralman, the sublety of the above posts is obviously lost on you so let me, the "feisty one", spell it out. You come across as a shill (look it up). You would have us believe that a discontinued speaker generously described as notorious now power...
Dec 03, 2003	Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano? And now here's the rub: What's the best speaker for Kazoo? (excluding of course the Avantgardes since they were obviously voiced with 18th century mirlitons).
Dec 02, 2003	How to pick which brand of 6550 tubes to purchase I have never been a fan of 6550s but just replaced Svetlana KT88s with RAM - tested Sovtek 6550 WEs and am most pleased Sound like clear-tops to me. Take a listen if you are able.
Nov 30, 2003	Is solid state on the brink of extinction? My Dear, you cannot plagiarize a quote that's already extinct.
Nov 30, 2003	Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano? The Scintillas commercial success speaks for itself, don't you think?
Nov 30, 2003	Is solid state on the brink of extinction? Muralman, surely you mean conniption? And if not, you should at least try to define extinction, especially for those of us not as blessed as you.
